All were kept in mystery until the appointed
time, when the manager. stepping before the
curtain, spoke of the statue of Memnon in
Egypt, which accustomed to greet the ris-
ing with song.
More oblising than Memnon, he said, 'cer-
found ready and willing to sing Whenever called
upon. Ladies and gentlemen" he added, II
have been fortunate enough to secure for our
festival cluster of these remarkable additions
to our native nora. and have the honor Of pre-
sentng to you our Sunfiowsr Chorus"
The slowly drawn curtain revealed upon
dark background thirteen large, yellow sun
flowers, with leaves and stalks complete. and in
the center of each a human face. Music came
from tina piano nsar the stage. and to its accom-
paninent the cluster of human sunfowers sang
numerous selections from familiar operas pop
ular songs sni melodies, and college elses
The Sunhower Chorus Was voted great sue
cess. and those not in the secret begged Miss
Abbott to tell them how it was done. And this
was her explanation:
One foot behind the stage curtain, hangs an
other curtain of dark brown cambria, ten feet
square; attach this by rings to wire stretched
nine feet from the floor tie cords to the first and
last rings, and, drawing the curtain tightly,
iasten these rings to the wall each side. The
top being now secured, let the curtain hang nat
urally; wrap the surplus cloth about strip of
wood twelve feet long. two inches WIDE and
inch think; fasten this to the floor by two large
screws and the fewer will be tightly
stretched.
Group the singers in picturesque cluster be-
hind the screen, with their faces pressed against
the cloth, and at distances from the floor varv-
ing from one to eight feet; mark the position of
each face. and cnt. in the screen hole into
which the face will closely fit Going now to
the front OF the screen, arrange the flowers aud
leaves, which should be fully prepared before
hand. The rays of the sunnowers may be cut
from yellow paper. and the leaves and stalks
from green paper. Paste the rays around the
openings. then arrange the stalks and leaves in
proper position.
When the paste is dry, remove the strip of
wood from the bottom of the screen, unfastsn one
of the cords at the TOD and slide it back until
needed for use, when it may be easily put into
position.
IN summer the natural stalks and leaves Of the
sunf1ower may be used instead Of those made
from paper.
